United States

There are 34 osteopathic medical schools in the United States, which train "osteopathic physicians". Osteopathic physicians are fully qualified medical doctors holding the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, and they are licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medications in addition to osteopathic manual treatment. Osteopaths from any schools outside of the country are not permitted to practice in the U.S. as osteopaths. They however are permitted to practice as osteopathic manual practitioners. These manual osteopaths are permitted only to use manual techniques. They may not perform surgery nor prescribe medications.
